On your own boat

  • Boat handling – training from friendly and experienced boat instructors.
  • ‘Diesel engines for dummies‘ and ‘Diesel engines for the frightfully intelligent who know about other things‘ – basic maintenance and background information on how to keep your engine healthy.
  • Boat electrics for dummies – keep your batteries happy and your lights bright.

We have spent many years training and supporting non-technical people in technical areas. We don't think you should be talked down to and we don't expect everyone to know everything about everything but sometimes it can really help just to have someone go over your engine, electrics or boating skills and give you a basic road map to start you on your way. Maybe answer those questions that have always been bugging you.

Perhaps we'll save you money too when you realise that engine servicing is fairly simple and you can do it yourself. We will give you the confidence to learn new skills and tackle unfamiliar tasks.

A lot of self fitout boats from the last 20 years are sold on and the new owners find that although the joinery is first class, a glance behind the electrical control panel reveals a rats nest of identically coloured wires. Equipment added, ad-hoc, over the years, redundant circuits. We can tidy this up, check it out, make sure it's compliant with latest safety standards. We can even produce a wiring diagram for you to aid future fault-finding and maintenance.
